Anupama says her only 'arty' ambition in life is to be able to skillfully use light and shadows in watercolour, and we think she has succeeded in doing just that! We love the adorable little protagonist in her story. Her expressions made us giggle and we’re sure they will send little kiddies into raptures of joy!

About the #6FrameStoryChallenge, Anupama says,

“It was a very innovative idea and I was super excited to create something logical out of just 6 words... and I love deadlines. The best part was to select 6 words from the grid and cook up a story. I tried many combinations before finally settling for a rather sweet story about collecting stars and all. It was only a day before the deadline that I realized that it was about time I pick up a pencil.”

(After having worked in the software industry for close to 15 years, Anupama says she is now glad to pursue her passion for the arts. She says she loves drawing silly and cute characters all the time. She has written and illustrated ' Gulli's box of things' with Pratham Books in the past.
